re: Would Shep at QB be anything like Denard Robinson?

However, the way we call our offense, I doubt DR would have the same stats he currently has for UM.

Perhaps. But, based on his high school film, Shep would likely run the read option (which Crowton runs repeatedly) better than JJ. I think there's a good chance that he would be big threat to the defense running that play.

And while JJ and JL may both be better passers, Shep can throw at least a little. Heck, based on his film, I'd say he's a better passer than Pat White, who was a very successful college QB.

I'm not saying that he should definitely be the QB every down every game. But, given the state of our QB play, he should at least get a few series. I really don't see why not.
